Comments Thread For: Roach: I Don't Think Andre Ward is The Fighter He Used To Be

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

yes ward did all those things because he was allowed to cheat which helped him. something you don't want to admit. maybe he wins if he fights legit. we will never know though.

do u ever stop?????

Mikkel kessler didn't lose because of headbutts, he was outlanded by a landslide, not only outlanded, but outmaneuvered, outclassed and outhustled. If Kovalev can't fight on the inside and he lost then that's on him just like if Ward couldn't fight on the inside, it'd be on him.

I agree Kessler didn't lose because of head-butts, he lost because he got out worked. So I guess Ward also head-butted Dawson to death. People kill me with that all Ward does is head but crap.

No some people will never stop and live in their fantasy world. I guess Ward cheated when he kicked Dawson's ass too.

Purse split for this mismatch was 96/4 in Ward's favour.

Andre don't like bullies doe.

Any links on the Ward/Kov purse split?

Yep, the Roach curse has been cast. Kovalev is in for a long night...

To be fair Roach likes both guys and basically said Ward isnt who he used to be and Kovalev looked like total **** in his last fight or two. He didn't pick anyone.

the guy posts the same sht every day, like at what point do these guys stop and at least be fair, all these guys are professional fighters who put their lifes on the line for our entertainment and all these guys do is come here n sht on them. smh andre ward has 3 fouls in 30 fights but the only way he wins is by cheating??

It's hard to tell when facing overmatched opponents.

yep, especially when hes a spoiler and not much of a KO artist. So he shut out some cab drivers on the cards and didnt stop them... that doesnt tell us much.


side by side Kovalev doesnt seem much bigger, andre as grown into 175 just fine, size advantage no longer there.

Then its what advantages does kovalev even have over ward at this point, just power. I expect ward UD 12.

Ward is getting hit more than he was @ 168, but Kovalev got hit a lot more by Chilemba. It's still a 50/50 fight, but I notice that it still has no BUZZ in the media! I think Canelo vs. Khan and Thurman vs. Porter had more hype than Kovalev vs. Ward! That's not a good look!

Is it any surprise when Andre Wardzzzzz is involved?

Kessler lost due to constant illegal clinching and headbutting. There isn't a single doubt that Ward should have been DQ'd that night.

Dawson lost due to being drained like crazy.

He did pick a couple weeks ago though, in a separate interview. Not that I'm promoting the idea of a curse, just that Roach seems to be on the wrong end of picks quite often.
